INKY Announces Additional $6 Million in Funding Led by ClearSky Security to Extend Technology Availability and Strategic PartnershipsCOLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --Â INKY Technology Corporation, a next-gen anti-phishing startup, announced today the company has raised an additional $6 million in funding led by ClearSky Security, as well as participation from Gula Tech Adventures to close out the start-up's series A round of funding. Ron Gula, Founder of Gula Tech Adventures, will join INKY's Board of Advisors as a result of the funding close. "In the 18 months since our foundational investment in INKY, the company has racked up numerous key commercial wins and has improved the intelligence of the core INKY Phish Fence product well beyond what incumbent vendors are capable of. We're thrilled to support INKY at this exciting inflection point for the company," said Peter Kuper, Managing Partner ClearSky Security. INKY was designed to use the power of cutting-edge computer vision technology to sift through the deceptive ways in which criminals are putting together phishing attacks today. INKY can detect and block phishing attacks that use even the most sophisticated tactics, such as hidden text and altered logos, before they reach end users. "As an early investor in INKY and team, I've seen the real benefits of the company's computer vision technology in preventing and catching phishing attacks before they are able to execute ahead of legacy anti-phishing technologies on the market today," said Ron Gula, Founder, Gula Tech Adventures. The company's flagship anti-phishing solution, INKY Phish Fence, is equipped with anomaly detection algorithms and computer vision technology to identify and block brand forgery emails, spear phishing attempts and extortion attacks, while also alerting employees with helpful warning banners to unusual or suspicious emails, giving users specific guidance on potentially problematic messages. "This latest round of funding allows INKY to significantly expand its market reach and further extend its considerable lead in anti-phishing technology over both competitors and cybercriminals," says Dave Baggett, CEO of INKY.
